Found this notification this morning on my pixel 6.
Any good browser suggestion??
Vivaldi
I like Zen. Waterfox is also good.
for android?
I like Vivaldi
Okay, turned it off. If a site needs my location it can ask me and I can politely tell it to fuck off unless it has a warrant.
NnnnnoooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO
Either die a hero……
Isn’t that just because Firefox got access to location data because some site asked for it?
The DDG app shows no 3rd party tracking attempts made by Firefox at all… So far…
Wait a second. You’re expecting Google to not FUD? Ha ha ha oh wow. I mean I didn’t actually expect them to do so, but yeah.
Wth is fud?

Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. It’s more commonly used in crypto communities.
Expected, no. Surprised, also no.
Google: “Forcing us to divest Chrome could have impacts on our ability to support Mozilla and their high executive salaries as we own the space with Chrome.”
Also Google:
Google warning you about Mozilla is just peak fucking irony
Alright gang, what are some good open source Firefox forks available on Android and Linux?
Librewolf for Linux. And ironfox on android
On Desktop I use Zen Browser. On Android I still use Brave, but I’m considering switching to a non chromium browser there some time.
I moved from Firefox on Android to Brave recently because it was too often breaking sites or taking much longer to load. Firefox just added a report broken sktes feature to the app though so maybe I’ll go back. Be the change I want to see in the world and whatnot.
Waterfox
Deactivate from settings Have https always on, protection against tracking on strict, data collection and daily ping on off.
And that’s it.
i mean it’s just because you can grant websites location data and toggle telemetry.
Fennec is great on Android
Great app also maintained by Mozilla
(wait, don’t tell me y’all don’t know lol)
I’ve been pretty happy with it as my casual web search browser, putting all my social media on a different browser. And it’s in F-Droid, so that always feels good.
Been using Libre Wolf, no issues so far. Fuck Firefox
Does libre wolf have an android app?
IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:
Dead link 😢
Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.
Fennec but I think it still shares some data
Thanks for that
Well, there seem to be some good safe alternatives. I am currently switching from Firefox to Vivaldi, for example.
Isn’t Vivaldi a chromium browser?
